I write in a software called Scrivener, which enables you to do outlines for every chapter before you start. Each chapter is in its own little "folder" so you don't have to write linearly, you can jump around.
When I feel a little blocked on one chapter, I skip to another that I fancy writing. Once I'm back in the flow, I can return to the chapter that I was having difficulties with and invariably the block's gone and I can continue with it.
Sometimes the block just won't budge - that normally means I'm taking the wrong direction in the story so I try to assess the story frankly without thinking of the words I've already committed to paper. A girl has to do what a girl has to do.
